A very simple card from me this time. Just a background printed from a USB and a die cut layered on top.

Digital Portfolio Watercolour Paper effects Vol 15 USB.

Tonic Studios Classic Card in French Blue.

Presscut Background Collection – Bubbles die set.

Happy Birthday is Tattered lace.

Don't forget that the CD Sunday Plus Challenge is now about making items using something printed from a craft CD Rom, USB or digital download.

#133 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

It’s my turn to host the challenge and pick the Top Three.

I made a ‘twofer’! Two cards for the price of one LOL!

The card swap I’m in had a theme of Spring Flowers but sadly only three of us were able to enter this time. I suggested that we made two cards so that we each received two cards back. I didn’t have much time to make my cards before I went visiting relatives for a few weeks. I decided the best thing to do would be to make similar cards. 

I’ve used the card base dies previously and really like the shape. I then added die cut crocus, bluebells, tulips and daffodils. I’d cut into the die cuts to layer up the design.

Items used:

Carnation Crafts: Into Spring Card Shape dies, Crocus Chorus dies, Bluebell Delight dies, Daffodil Daydream dies Arrangement Maker dies and all the relevant vignettes from Carnation Crafts.

Tonic Studios: Craft Perfect Buttermilk Yellow card stock.

Craft Artist: Essential card in Coconut White.

#132 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

I succumbed to the current craze doing the rounds on Facebook and made a fractured card. It was a lot easier to make than it looks and you can use up some of your small left over pieces of patterned paper. I searched YouTube for a tutorial on how to make this.

I love Steampunk designs so chose papers from the Steampunk Romance Collection by Creative Crafting World.

Items used:

Creative Crafting World: The Paper Boutique The Paper Pantry Volume VI USB Steampunk Romance Collection. This was originally in paper form but then put onto USB. Dark brown adhesive pearls also from CCW.

Thin white peel offs from my stash.

#131 Anything Goes - CD Sunday Plus Challenge

This is the second card I made in January when I had some spare time and had a play/experiment with some of my rarely used stash such as stencils, texture pastes, paints and wooden embellishments.

I made this for someone who likes to sew and alters clothes to fit herself, her daughter and her two granddaughters.

I sized the main image to fit in the middle of the larger card and used green texture paste through a stencil. The central panel was layered onto white card leaving a small border so it would stand out and then raised on 3d foam tape. I printed the pale pink paper and put it back through to print the text on top. I lightened the text so it didn’t overpower the backing paper. The central panel was finished off with a dress form die cut, lace effect paper ribbon and pink pearls.

I edged the base card with a button themed border die cut from pink card and layered onto white card. 

 Items used:

Digital Craftorium Eclectic Mix USB: Main image and backing paper.

Crafts Too:  Texture paste – I forgot to make a note of the two colours used!

Couture Creations: Bodice die.

Tonic Studios: Button and Star Strip Die Set.

From stash: Paper lace effect border and pearls.

Script/text downloaded free from internet. 

The challenge will close on Saturday 27th April 2024 at 1pm.

Every year I’ve made a mermaid themed birthday card for my next door neighbour’s youngest daughter. This time I asked her Mam if she was still into mermaids or was there anything else she liked. My neighbour told me that she still liked mermaids but also witches and butterflies so this is what I came up with:

 

The backing paper is from Victoria Nelson’s digi kit called Butterfly Meadow that I recoloured in Serif Craft Artist. The witch image was a free download by an amazing artist friend. He used to put his designs on his blog and you could download them for free but sadly he no longer blogs or draws. I also added a three butterflies that have been in my stash for many years.
